Amtrak Considers Addition Of 3 Roundtrips, Milwaukee-To-Chicago

Transportation officials say the addition of three daily round trips between Milwaukee and Chicago would serve the massive Foxconn presence as its plant begins operations in Mount Pleasant. Foxconn announced plans earlier this week to buy a seven-story building in downtown Milwaukee for its Wisconsin headquarters. Details of the expansion plans were on the table Thursday for a meeting involving the Public Transportation Review Board of the Milwaukee Common Council, along with the Southeast Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
